The Colours Rise
Lim An Keng felt that the team had about done the best they could against Karak of the West today. "It's a bit galling to lose two points in the final seconds, but I think we did ourselves proud." the 20 year-old playmaker said. "They rocked us with their aggression and experience early on, and we did a good job of adjusting before socking right back."
Grilled's slim chances of advancement look all but gone now, given that their next opponents will be Red N Blue Return, who shut the Blackbirds out in a 1-0 win to qualify for the next stage. Brian Rodansky scored the only goal of an otherwise lopsided contest in the 53rd minute, as the Blackbirds did well to limit the scoreline thus, in a game where they sustained eight shots on target against, to none for.
"It's hopeless-seeming games like this, where the youngsters get to show their true mettle." Grilled captain
Chan Ze Han claimed. "Lost cause or not, they may discover something about themselves after it."
